Skincare fanatics swap Molly-Mae’s £50 Elemis cleansing balm for £20 version that’s ‘just as luxurious’

Cleansing is a crucial part of your skincare routine, and there’s nothing better than a cleansing balm to remove stubborn makeup, cleanse away dirt, and nourish your skin simultaneously. Elemis’ Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is a favourite in this category, with celebs like Molly-Mae Hague swearing by it as a staple in her skincare routine.

Although currently on sale at LookFantastic for £39.20, the Elemis balm usually comes with a hefty price tag of £49 for a 100g tub. That’s why Amazon shoppers are rushing to grab the more wallet-friendly Super Facialist Rosehip Meltaway Cleansing Balm, available for £20.

The Super Facialist Rosehip Meltaway Cleansing Balm is suitable for all skin types, including extra sensitive skin. Its buttery texture effortlessly melts away makeup, dirt, and impurities, and it’s packed with hyaluronic acid, rosehip oil, and babassu oil which work together to hydrate your skin and lock in moisture, leaving it feeling nourished and soft.

It also supports your skin’s natural barrier thanks to the squalene, ensuring your hydration and skin protection lasts all day. Just like the Elemis one, the Super Facialist Cleansing Balm also has a soothing spa-like scent that helps you relax and unwind every time you use it.

The Super Facialist Cleansing Balm is applied by rubbing a small amount between dry palms and massaging it into the face, neck, and decolletage. Adding a small amount of water emulsifies the balm, transforming it into a lightweight, milky texture that can be easily removed with a warm, damp cloth.

This product has garnered a 4.5-star rating, with one reviewer praising its gentle yet effective makeup removal capabilities: “Very gentle on the skin but does a very good job of removing stubborn makeup without having to scrub. Smells lovely too and does not irritate my sensitive skin.”

Another reviewer compared it favourably to a more expensive option: “I had a small sample pot of a cleaning balm from Elemis and I loved using it – however I really couldn’t afford their premium price to buy a full size so I wanted to find something similar. This cleansing balm is just as luxurious to use. I particularly love using it in the evening. It smells lovely and it’s very relaxing. It takes off my makeup (I am not a heavy makeup wearer) and leaves my skin feeling super soft and moisturised. I will definitely be continuing to buy this product.”

One reviewer found the scent a bit much, stating: “Cleans well and feels quite soft and easy to use, but the smell is a bit overpowering.”

However, another reviewer enjoyed the scent and the product’s effects: “Smells gorgeous and skin feels great after using would definitely recommend and might try other products in this brand. A little goes a long way.”

Clinique’s Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm, a jumbo-sized 125ml tub, is currently on sale for £27.20, down from its usual price of £34. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, The Body Shop’s Camomile Sumptuous Makeup Cleansing Butter is priced at just £6 and promises to dissolve makeup in under 30 seconds, reports the Mirror.
